Dogs in Bavaria.

Bavaria has succeeded in doing what
no other country has yet been able to ac-
complsh; she has practically stamped
out hydrophobia. During the last seven
years there have been only three deaths
of human beings from hydrophobia in a
population numbering close upon 6,000,-
600; and since 1876, when the present
severe dog laws came into operation,
there has never been more than one death
in year. Previously to that time deaths
were very frequent. Between 1868 and.
1876 the death rate from hydrophobia in
Bavaria was never less than fourteen in q
year, and once it reached the high per-
centage of thirty-one. The regulations
which have banished this terrible malady
from whole kingdom are very minute,
and perhaps some little veXatious; but it
is assuredly worth while to take little
trouble for so desirable an end.
Every dog in the country is bound,
upon pain of instant death, to bear upon
his collar metal tally, upon which is in
scrlbed his number upon the register of
his district. The color and shape of this
tally, which is really the dsg's passport,
are changed every year, and the police
are thus able to see at glance if a dog is
Sin order" Once month all dogs have
to be examined by veterinary surgeon,
and if they are not In good health they
are detained in a kind Of dogs hospital
until they recover. If an animal changes
hands, the transfer must be at once noti-
fled to the police, and any breach of the
regulations-even delay of few days
in the payment of the tax-is visited by
a heavy fine. The tax varies from three
shillings year in the country districts to
fifteen shillings in the large towns.-St.
James Budget.

Christine Nilsson at Home.

Nilsson, since her marriage to the Count
Casa Miranda, has set up an establish
ment in London and enter1ains a great
deal. Her husband was said to be the
handsomest man in Spain when he mar
ried the first time, but at present he looks
more like a German of the brunette type.
The Swedish songstresS does not dress
well; and she has grown quite stout, and
all the mysterious sadness of her shadowy
eyes has given place to commonplace
good nature and placidity. Her step
daughter, for whom she has had an al
most romantic affection, and who was
largely instrumental in making the mar
riage with her father, is a pretty Spanish
girl who is dressed charmingly by French
modistes. Their drawing room is always
crowded with the very best company in
London, including not only titles, but
men and women who bear the prOudest
titles In the aristocracy of art, letters, and
music. Nilsson sings very frequently at
her musicales and receptions, and her
voice is as delicate as 1t ever was. She
collects about her such women as Flor
ence Rice Knox, Mile. Decca and Hope
Glenn. In spite of the large sums of
HiOllty NlISoOu llSl nuSDallu lOht, anu
his people cheated her cut of, she still has
a large fortune and lives in beautiful
style. Of course she ''collects' every
one collects something-andh her two pas
sions are tapestry and fans. Most of the
former she has picked up for herself, and
she has some rare and beautiful bits, but
the fans are mostly gifts. Wherever she
went, people who were moved to enthu-
siasm by her marvellous silvery notes gave
her fan. She has them from every
country in which she has ever sung. One
of them was given to her in st. Peters
burg by Russian prince, and is copy
of the famous fan of the Queen of Dude.
1t is white silk embroidered with pearls
and emeralds, the sticks of gold and ivory
set with small rubies, and the monograms
in diamonds. The Empress Eugene gave
ner a fan that once belonged to Nine.
Dubarry and was painted by Baucber,
the wrought pearl sticks of which are
studded with sky blue turquoise. The
Venetians gave her a fan of silver filagree
and the most exquisite of old Venetian
point lace. One of the Indian princes
who attended the jubilee, Tlakori of
Morvi, it is said, heard her sing and saw
her fans, adding subsequently the most
splendid and costly one in the whole col
lection in the shape of gold headed fan
crusted with gems, and made of the
feathers of gorgeous East Indian birds. -

When excited, Professor Goode says,
the swordfish's motions are most quick
and nervous. The fish are sometimes seen
to leap entirely out Of the water The
pointed head, the fins ON the back and
abdomen simply fitting into grooves, the
absence of ventrals, the long, 1.-THE, mus
cular body, sloping slowly to the tail, fit
it for the most rapid and forcible move
ment through the water. 1t strikes with
the accumulated force of fifteen double
headed hammers, Its velocity is equal to
that of swivel shot and is as dangerous
in its effects as a heavy artillery projec-
tile. Many very curious instances are on
record of the encounters of this fish with
other fishes, OF of their attacks upon
ships. What can be the inducement for
it to attack objects SO much larger than
itself it is hard to surmise. 1t surely
seems as If q temporary insanity some
times takes possession of the fish. An old
swordfsherman told Mr.. Blackford that
his vessel had been struck twenty times.
There are, however, many instances of
entirely unprovoked assault on vessels at
sea.-New York Mail and Express.

Diseases Which Follow Anger.

In diseases of the heart, anger is a
potent agency of evil. If death does not
occur from sudden, intense shock, the
organ is enfeebled by every fit of passion.
In persons of plethoric habit and given
to excesses in eating, and in those in
whom the coats of the blood vessels of
the brain have been weakened by degen-
erative changes, anger increases the
danger of apoplexy, A variety of other
diseases is liable to follow immoderate
anger; among them may be mentioned
paralysis, epilepsy and hysteria. Anger,
or violent OF ungovernable temper, as it
is sometimes expressed, holds, according
to the reports of the different lunatic
asylums both IN Europe and America, a
prominent place among the causes of
nsanity.-Good Housekeeping.

Weaving in Biblical Times.

There were not many regular manu-
facturers among the ancient Jews. There
are, however, several beautiful illusions
to weaving by Job, but this, like spinning
the thread, was carried on as a family
employment rather than as a regular
trade. 1t is SO now among eastern ma
tons. The loom and the instruments
for spinning are of the plainest and
simplest kind, In the description of the
virtuous woman, Proverbs XXI, 10, to
the end we have full and minute ac-
count of the manner in which these fam
lily employments were directed by the
mistress. Nor was this only in the fam
lies of the lower and middle ranks. In
tue Greek and Roman histories we read
of the wives Of kings and generals being
thus engaged. Homer, who lived soon
after the time of Solomon, describes two
queens-Penelope and Helen-employed
at their looms. DR.. Shaw found that the
women in BarbapE at the present day
were the only persons who w0ye the
hykes or upper garments. These were
coarse articles and they did not use shut
ties, but passed the threads of the woOf
with their fingers. Solomon's S virtuous
woman is represented by our translators
of the Bible as having clothing of silk;
the word rendered silk, according to
some authorities, should be fine cotton
cloth or muslin, as they state silk was
then scarcely, if at all known. Aurelian,
the Roman emperor, 1900 years after
the time of Solomon, refused his wife a
silk gown because it was too expensive,
We can, therefore, hardly suppose that q
Jewish woman of the middle class could
have such clothing.-Philadelphia Call.

RARE MEXICAN MUMMiES.
Several Bodies Found After Centurie
Perfectly Preserved.

Perfectly Preserved.
Signor S. Marghieri arrived in this city
few days ago from Mexico, where he
was engaged by the government in MAX
ing extensive archaeological and min
eralogical researches. He brought with
him some splendid specimens of natural
mummies. The group is composed of
four persons, two small children and two
adults, man and a woman. A rat was
also found.
The man is notable for his perfect
physical proportions and the robustness
of his limbs. The woman is over feet
INCHES in height and has a finely
molStd body and limbs. To what race
they belong is not known, but it is sur
missed that they must be of the famous
warrior Aztec race or of the agricultural
and primitive Voltecas. To decide is
difficult; but one thing is certain, says La
Voce del Popolo, and it is that they be-
long to a race entirely different from the
Indians who now inhabit the region
where the mummies were discovered
This is proven by their color, which is
almost white; the fneness of the hair,
which is marvelously well preserved in
the woman; the texture of certain cloth,
now unknown; the bent positions of the
bodies, peculiar to those found in all the
tombs of the ancient Aztecs, and strange
ornaments upon their persons.
The woman has her delicate ears
pierced with a piece of polished precious
wood, and in the ears of one of the chill
dren are little pearls worked in bone,
with serpentine pieces of rare stone as
marvelousiy cut as if it came from the
hand of the most skilled lapidary. The
cords about the body are of fine ma
terial and twisted with the greatest skill,
and seem to have been made of the fiber
of different trees and the hair of various
fur animals.
With the bodies Signor Marghieri
found a rat. mummifed to perfection,
and it is surmised that it may have been
pet in the family, like the little white
rat of our days. The specimens men
toned are of the rarest kind. the num-
indications having taken place by the
operation of natural laws and not through
the agency of ointment, balms, ETC., as
in the case of Egyptian mummies, In
the present instance the bodies were
preserved by some peculiar qualities of
the soil in which they were found; . soil
| that absorbed the gaseous substances in
the body, leaving the skin like parch-
ment. Under this natural process of en,-
balming the bodies may be exposed to The
air for any length of time, precisely as if
they were marble, without fear Or in
jury.-San Francisco Examiner.

Tobacco is INDUCED in to an incredible
extent. 1t is mostly smoked in Persian
water pipes (ghalyan). If the tobacco is
of the Shiraz brands it is very good, but
strong; and the Persian smoker will smoke
SO many pipes a day-often forty to fifty
AS to be in estate of happiness, "
called ''keff," early in the afternoon,
This means a species of nareosis brought
on by their peculiar manner of smoking,
that is, inhaling the smoke, allowing it
to penetrate the lungs, and then letting it
escape by the nose and ears. AS tobacco
is excessively cheap and time no object
to the average Persian, this variety of
dissipation is the most prevalent one, and
one not forbidden by the Koran either.
While the "keff'' lasts the pupils of the
eyes are dilated, and a sort of drowsy in
difference to all outside objects seems to
pervade the smoker. A curious fact in
connection with the use of tobacco in
Persia is the manner in which its solace
is provided by venders in the streets to
all passers by. Cigars are not sold there,
but the venders, each carrying goodiy
supply of pipes and tobacco with him. are
plentiful. For two cents anybody can sit
down in the street and smoke well filled
ghalyan. This takes him about thirty
minutes to do,-The Cosmopolitan,

1t is a constant subject of inquiry why
there are so many deserted wives in our
city; why SO many men, when trouble
overtakes them, run away from their
homes, leaving the buK1en of toll and
sorrow TO fall upon the wife and mother;
why it is that so many men get drunk,
neglect their wives, neglect their children,
making their homes wretched and miser-
able when those homes should be as they
are intended to be, spots of earthly para
diser The answer will be found in the
disposition to separate families, young
children being sent to the west, a sick
child or sick father to the hospital, all
resulting from the overcrowded dwell
ings of the masses and in the street infiu-
ences SO destructive to the tender aEsocia-
tions of the home. Persons SO real ed are
ill fitted to assume the responsibilities of
married life, and when such duties come
to them know little of what is required
of them. A poor home is better than no
home, and poor nursing at home is more
to be desired for the individual and the
community than the most sbillful nursing
in the hospital.-Physician in New York

NsermOnisnl in Switzerland.

The report Of the government OF the
canton Of Berne, Switzerland, to the
department Of justice and police of the
Swiss central government regarding Nor
monism maintains that it would be use
less to take hall measures, the expulsion
of ali the Mormons from Switzerland
being the only means that could possibly
prove effective. The bundesrath fed
eral counoiD adopted that view and ap-
pointed commission to inquire into the
proceedings of the Mormons in all the
cantons where there are any of the sect.
1t is asserted that the Mormons prefer
to get hold Of little children to take to
Utah and Jhere educate for their purpose.

l.EastnHnns IN Alaska.

In conversation with D. II, Summers,
formerly cf Denver, Col, who came out
this fail with party of miners from
Forty bile Creek, we learned that the
existence OF living nastodons was not the
mere fabrication Of northern furriers, but
that the Stick Indians had positively told
him that such animals had been seen by
them. One of the Indians said that
while hunting one day in an unknown
section he came across an immense track
sunk to a depth Of several inches in moss
1t much resembled an elephants track,
but was larger round than barrel. The In
dian followed up this curious track, which
to all appearances was very fresh, track
ing from one immense stride to another,
a distance OF some miles, when he came
in full view of his game, The hunter
gave one look, thsn turned and fed.
These Indians as a rule are the bravest
hunters. With no other weapon than
their spear they will attack and kill
grizzly, but the immense proportions of
this new style of game filed the hunter,
brave as he was, wish great fear.
He described il as being larger than
Port Trader HarQars store, with great
y
enough to swallow him at single gulph.
He said the animal was doubtless similar
to those who furnished the immense
bones scattered over that section. If
such animals are now in existence, and
Mr.. Summers ha3u reason to doubt the
veracity Of the Indian, as other Indians
and also Mr.. Harper confirmed it, they
inhabit section very high in altitude,
but rarely visited by human beings. We
also have no reason to doubt the Indian
tale, for at no very distant period Yukeon
country was Inhabited by these animals,
as hundreds of their massive skeletons
strewn along the creeks are silen: but
truthful witnesses. On Forty Mile Creek
bones can be found projecting partly
from the sand, and among the driftwood
Of the stream on the creek below this
these skeletons are also quite numelo ous.

A Prisoners Self Denial.

This truth, that human nature is a
kaleidoscope of good and bad rather than
one stripe of plain color, receives a strik-
ing illustration in the case of one Vinzenzo
JuIiano, who is confined in the Newark
Jail on charge of murder. According
to report, it was noticed that the priso-
ner grew weaker and more meager day
by day. His wife visited him regularly,
and she invariably carried away with
her on her departure from the jail a
small parcel. The suspicious Of the war
den were aroused, and he made an in
spection of the bundle, to find it contain
ing the ration of food with which the
prisoner was supplied. Inquiries fol-
lowed, and it appeared the prisoner was
starving himself to provide food for his
wife and children, who had no other
means of support. On learning the fact
the warden doubled the ration, and took
further steps to keep the family of the
prisoner from utter destitution. New

snort wraps
Especial Correspondence
NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-The subject Of
wraps is yet prominently before the
mir-l of most fair shoppers. When a
warm day comes they pass by the heavy
raglans and fur trimmed things that cover
one all over, and dwell longingly on little
short wraps suggestive Of mild weather
and elegant occasions, and there are some
lovely ones. Blue pushes delicately
beaded, and cream pushes richly ornc-
mented with amber and topaz colored
beads are enticing beyond the power of
resistance given to feminine purse strings.
But there nre still other beauties of
different type. At a recent opening at
one of the most substantial and elegant
houses l saw a short wrap that seemed to
me to be taste comfort and refined ele-
gance put together in most agreeable
form The material was of the dark red
smooth cloth SO much in favor this season.
1t is entirely new in shade and quality.
Long wraps are also made of it. The
body of this wrap was jacket, close fit
ting In the back, but loose in front, and
